Abstract
Annuities 269,000 00 " Dominion Bonds 500,000 00 4,138,589 09was receieved in 1872, the amount being $1,437,372 ; the smallest receipt, viz., $445,278, was that of the year 1878.Occasionally it has been argued that we have been wasting our patrimony and squandering our capital, and that we sell timber limits in order to get funds to meet extravagant expenditures.No details are ever given as to the alleged extravagance, and it is admitted that as settlement advances sales of timber must from time to time be made.While it is contended that our capital should be kept intact, it is admitted that all interest received may be expended for the ordinary requirements of government.The fact that it would be utterly impossible to continue to give our large customary grants to Education, Agriculture, Asylum Maintenance, etc., without drawing upon Crown Land receipts is conveniently overlooked.I will briefly show how these Crown Lands Department receipts have been expended.The gross receipts from sales of Crown Lands, one branch of the Crown Lands Department, since 1872 amount to $3,582,- 176, of which sum $1,114,406 is made up of accruals of interest.The total receipts from Woods and Forests during the same period amounted to $13,671,074.Of this sum $855,083 represents ground rents, which we all admit may, like interest receipts, properly be spent year by year in assisting to meet our ordinary expenditures.From the gross receipts we should deduct the expenses of management in the Crown Lands Office, includ- ing salaries and contingencies, and these for the twenty years amount to $1,018,348.Refunds amounting to $364,802 must also be deducted.These represent moneys paid into the Crown Lands Department on account of sales which have not been completed. We should alsodeduct what we call Charges on Crown Lands, which include costs of surveys, fire-ranging, inspection, forest-ranging, collection of dues, etc., and these aggregate for the same period $1,693,368.The net receipts then are from Crown Lands sales $2,467,770 and from Woods and Forests $9,739,373, or taken together the total net receipts from the Crown Lands Department from 1872 to 1891 amount to $12,207,143. Our Timber Assets Converted into other Assets.Let us now notice to what uses this large sum has been devoted.During the same period, that is from 1872 to 1891, we have spent on Public Buildings $5,096,293 ; Railways $5,655,478 j Public Works $2,324,811 ; Colonization Roads $2,146,792 j making in all $15,223,374.We have therefore invested during this period of twenty years in Public Buildings, Railways, Public Works and Colonization Roads $3,016,231 more than the amount we have received from the Crown LandsDepartment from sales of land and timber.That Public Buildings and Railways are valuable permanent assets, greatly assisting the growth and development of the Province, no one will pretend to question.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
